"Successfully"? So far they got money from Microsoft (surprise) and Lindows (The same company that recommends its clients to purchace "anti-virus" for desktop linux product).

And in the one court battle to date they have paid a fine of 50000 euros (right?) for not showing up to protect their stand. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
